Multi-vocational Ministry and the Future of the Church

July 7, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Reginald Blount in a variety of ministry roles

As ministry changes on a foundational level, more and more students are pursuing their call to ministry bi- or multi-vocationally. For some, this is a response to the financial and material complexity of being a minister at this moment in time. For others, multi-vocational ministry is the natural result of feeling called in more ways than one, to ministry that puts an individual in multiple ministerial spaces both inside and outside of the Church.

If this sounds like you, or if you are a local ministry leader seeking wisdom around how to prepare students for ministry and theological education in this current moment, join us on July 7th for this important conversation. We will be joined by Rev. Dr. Reginald Blount as well as a few other guests who are serving in multi-vocational ministry contexts.
